Even without it some boards let you update at BIOS boot without compatible CPU as CPU is just need for basic use (needs to be pin and electronically compatible). Flashback works without even need for a CPU in it as you don't need to switch on the system.
Now all this is quite common except on...
W11 LTSC announced so there will be people with newer hardware switching to W11 as the stable standard. Not sure CPU with NPU will be taken into account.
A pascal card will last forever. There's not going to be any new graphics after China occupies Taiwan and North Korea nukes South Korea, and after that Windows 12 will be too late for WW3 and the world as we know it.
So yeah Pascal if fair enough for the future, works on W11.
I'd like to remember all of you that the real first Mac is called Lisa and so it's been 41. Yeah, I know, I'm older than you. I may turn 60 this year. 👨🦳 :)
An it was far from being my first computer I used and I knew..
Not really Pat fault.
It's Brian Krzanich fault (I don't have a clue how to pronounce his name). He let Intel lose advance on process and Intel didn't chose the good direction for their GPGPU and so he just abandoned the market instead of changing their solution, but pulled from the company...
It's the graphics card fault or some system upgrade (I mean the OS). You can find whatever new driver for the motherboard at Intel if not by Microsoft OS. The driver from the 4080 even if it's the same install file as the 3080Ti doesn't use all the same software and API.
I don't see how the PSU...
It seems AMD is betting on IA too. They won't use much silicon for gaming on next gen, meaning no high end, just to use all their reserved silicon at TSMC for CDNA GPGPU.
Their CDNA high end chip is very powerfull, on some tasks better than Nvidia's.
Massive parallel computing was at the center of the discussion on the future computing at Nvidia and ATI/AMD. While Intel was testing architectures based on x86 and failed. Even more, they missed the gaming GPU times after they bought that company who made the i740, and Intel never followed the...
Yes and no. This is a temporary cure. If there is noise and vibration it is not the oil but the fact that the mechanical part is worn out.
However the fans are not always replaceable on GPUs. There was a time when you could replace all the cooler with its fan with some standard one from the...
